Leslie, these look terrific on you! I have this pattern in my stash. I really should get it out and sew a pair. Yours are so perfect!

Leslie, these do look so RTW--but they fit perfectly--which is not a characteristic of RTW (for me, at least). We won't tell your husband that your heart has been stolen! Marci

Fabulous! You got to love any pants that are made straight from the envelope.

Fantastic results! I'm totally in love with this pattern too. And, I just realized, by reading your review, that I can use really big letters for pockets and stitch them out on my embroidery machine. Fantastic idea!

My pattern just came in the mail this week and I can't wait to try it out. There have been so many satisfied sewers with this pattern...that is why I purchased it from PR. Your jeans came out wonderfully!!!

Ok that's it. I HAVE to make these. Leslie these are BETTER than RTW. Thanks also for all the sources and tips. After shopping for more than 2 hours this afternoon, I think my time is better spent in the sewing room making these :)

Wow, your jeans look amazing! I love the in-action photo. Thanks for the wonderful review.

WOW! They look fabulous! I wonder how they would work for the plus size gal? You make me want to give them a try! Nora :)

Meredith P said...
These really look great, Leslie. But seriously, it would seem to me that you would have no trouble finding great RTW. Great review...may persuade myself to make a pair...and thanks for the warning about the negative ease. Denim leggings would not do me any favors! And BTW, jeans look like they're having a great time at Vivo.

2BSewing said...
Great looking jeans! Straight out of the package? Now, that says a lot about the pattern (especially the instructions). Because of your fab review, there will be a mad rush to get this pattern. ;) Thanks for the fantastic tips and review.

annie11 said...
These look FANTASTIC! Thanks for the tip about the topstitching on the back pockets. I will be on the lookout for some good denim to try this pattern out on.

A beautiful and great fitting pair of jeans. Fabulous job. I have the "jean-a-ma-jig and will remember to use it in similar projects. Great review too!

Leslie they are beautiful - fit you to perfection and RIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGE!!! Now how lucky is that. Yours beats RTW anyday - way to go!!

ladybegood said...
Wow! They do look RTW, better even because they fit so well. Congrats on finding your jeans soul mate.

Leslie, I don't even like wearing jeans anymore (too heavy, stiff, waist never fits) but what can I say when I see this review?! You are lovely as always and have written another really classic review, thank you!

Thanks for the great review. You are now on my "fav reviewers" list (or should I say "FAB reviewers"?) along with the pattern on my "wishlist". I look forward to your great tips in future reviews.

Hilary said...
Your jeans look fantastic!! I love the action shot (looks yummy!). I have to get this pattern~also perfect since it has all sizes, and I can make my DD jeans too! She's very slim so these should be perfect. On the french seams, do you mean the front pocket bags? Thanks!

Living Beauty said...
Beautiful job of making these jeans. The fit is impeccable. I plan on purchasing this pattern right away...I only hope I can do as good a job making them!
